[0057] In an implementation, at least one of Ar.sup.1 or Ar.sup.2 may be a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C30 heteroaryl group having electronic properties. The electronic properties may refer to electron injection and/or transport properties.

[0058] The compound for an organic optoelectronic device represented by the above Chemical Formula 1 may have a structure including a substituent having electronic properties on a fused ring core including at least two nitrogen atoms.

[0059] Characteristics of the entire compound may be controlled by introducing an appropriate substituent (onto the core structure) having excellent electronic properties.

[0060] The compound for an organic optoelectronic device may include a core part and various substituents for substituting the core part. Thus, the compound may have various energy band gaps. The compound may be used in an electron injection layer (EIL) and an electron transport layer (ETL), or an emission layer.

[0061] The compound may have an appropriate energy level, depending on the substituents. Thus, the compound may fortify electron transport capability of an organic photoelectric device and may bring about excellent effects on efficiency and driving voltage and also, may have excellent electrochemical and thermal stability. Thus, life-span characteristic during the operation of the organic photoelectric device may be improved.

[0062] As noted above, the electronic properties may refer to a characteristic in which an electron formed in the cathode is easily injected into the emission layer and transported in the emission layer due to conductive properties according to LUMO level. For example, the electronic properties may refer to an electron injection or transport properties.

[0063] Hole properties may refer to characteristics in which a hole formed in the anode is easily injected into the emission layer and transported in the emission layer due to conductive characteristic according to HOMO level.

[0064] The structure of the compound may have an asymmetric bipolar characteristic by appropriately blending or selecting a substituent.

[0065] Examples of the compound represented by the above Chemical Formula 1 may be represented by one of the following Chemical Formula 2 or 3.

##STR00051##

[0066] In Chemical Formula 2, X.sup.1 to X.sup.4 may each independently be --N--, --CR.sup.1--, --CR.sup.2--, --CR.sup.3-- or --CR.sup.4--, R.sup.1 to R.sup.6 may each independently be a hydrogen, deuterium, substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 alkyl group, substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C30 aryl group, substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C30 heteroaryl group, or a combination thereof, L.sup.1 and L.sup.2 may each independently be a single bond, substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C6 alkenyl group, substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C6 alkynyl group, substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C30 arylene group, substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C30 heteroarylene group, or a combination thereof, n and m may each independently be 1 or 2, Ar.sup.2 may be hydrogen, deuterium, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C30 aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C30 heteroaryl group, or a combination thereof, X.sup.5 to X.sup.7 may each independently be --N-- or --CR'--, in which R' may be hydrogen or deuterium, and at least one of X.sup.5 to X.sup.7 may be --N--.

[0069] The difference between structures of Chemical Formulae 2 and 3 may be the position of a substituent bound to the hetero fused ring core.

[0070] When having the bonding position as in Chemical Formula 2, thermal properties of the compound may be enforced by introducing the rigid molecular structure.

[0071] When having the bonding position as in Chemical Formula 3, amorphous characteristics of the compound may be enforced to thereby help suppress the crystallinity, so the device using the same may have a prolonged life span.

[0072] In an implementation, Ar.sup.2 (or Ar.sup.1) may be a substituted or unsubstituted naphthyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted anthracenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted phenanthrenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted triphenylenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted pyrenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted chrysenyl group, or a combination thereof.

Thus, when the organic photoelectric device is fabricated using the compound having low crystallinity, the life-span of device may be improved.

[0073] In an implementation, the substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C30 heteroaryl group having the electronic properties may be or may include, e.g., a substituted or unsubstituted imidazolyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted triazolyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted tetrazolyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted carbazolyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted oxadiazolyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted oxatriazolyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted thiatriazolyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted benzimidazolyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted benzotriazolyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted pyridinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted pyrimidinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted triazinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted pyrazinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted pyridazinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted purinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted quinolinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted isoquinolinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted phthalazinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted naphpyridinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted quinoxalinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted quinazolinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted acridinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted phenanthrolinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted phenazinyl group, or a combination thereof.

Thus, the substituent may help increase a triplet energy band gap by adjusting entire .pi.-conjugation length of the compound, so it may be usefully applied for an emission layer of organic photoelectric device as a phosphorescent host. In an implementation, n and/or m may be 0, and the linking groups L.sup.1 and/or L.sup.2 may not be present in the compound.

[0132] (Performance Measurement of Organic Light Emitting Diode)

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE

[0133] Each of the obtained organic photoelectric devices according to Examples 3, 4, 5, 6, and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 was measured for luminance change, current density change depending upon the voltage, and luminous efficiency. The specific method was as follows. The results are shown in the following Table 1 and in FIGS. 6 to 13.

[0134] (1) Measurement of Current Density Change Depending on Voltage Change

[0135] The obtained organic light emitting diode was measured for current value flowing in the unit device while increasing the voltage from 0 V to 10 V using a current-voltage meter (Keithley 2400), and the measured current value was divided by area to provide the result.

[0148] As may be seen in Table 1, the organic light emitting diodes according to Examples 3 and 4 exhibited excellent luminous efficiency and electric power efficiency with a low driving voltage, compared to that of Comparative Example 1.

[0149] It may also be seen that the organic light emitting diode according to Examples 5 and 6 exhibited excellent luminous efficiency and electric power efficiency with a low driving voltage, compared to that of Comparative Example 2.

[0150] By way of summation and review, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) has recently drawn attention due to an increasing demand for a flat panel display. In general, organic light emission refers to conversion of electrical energy into photo-energy.

[0151] Such an organic light emitting diode may convert electrical energy into light by applying current to an organic light emitting material. It may have a structure in which a functional organic material layer is interposed between an anode and a cathode. The organic material layer may include a multi-layer including different materials, e.g., a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an emission layer, an electron transport layer (ETL), and an electron injection layer (EIL), in order to help improve efficiency and stability of an organic photoelectric device.

[0152] In such an organic light emitting diode, when a voltage is applied between an anode and a cathode, holes from the anode and electrons from the cathode may be injected to the organic material layer and recombined to generate excitons having high energy. The generated excitons may generate light having certain wavelengths while shifting to a ground state.

[0153] A phosphorescent light emitting material may be used for a light emitting material of an organic light emitting diode, in addition to the fluorescent light emitting material. Such a phosphorescent material may emit light by transporting the electrons from a ground state to an exited state, non-radiance transiting of a singlet exciton to a triplet exciton through intersystem crossing, and transiting a triplet exciton to a ground state to emit light.

[0154] As described above, in an organic light emitting diode, an organic material layer may include a light emitting material and a charge transport material, e.g., a hole injection material, a hole transport material, an electron transport material, an electron injection material, and the like.

[0155] The light emitting material may be classified as blue, green, and red light emitting materials according to emitted colors, and yellow and orange light emitting materials to emit colors approaching natural colors.

[0156] When one material is used as a light emitting material, a maximum light emitting wavelength may be shifted to a long wavelength or color purity may decrease because of interactions between molecules, or device efficiency may decrease because of a light emitting quenching effect. Therefore, a host/dopant system may be included as a light emitting material in order to help improve color purity and to help increase luminous efficiency and stability through energy transfer.

[0157] In order to implement excellent performance of an organic light emitting diode, a material constituting an organic material layer, e.g., a hole injection material, a hole transport material, a light emitting material, an electron transport material, an electron injection material, and/or a light emitting material such as a host and/or a dopant, should be stable and have good efficiency. In addition, the material may be useful for other organic photoelectric devices.

[0158] A low molecular weight organic light emitting diode may be manufactured as a thin film in a vacuum deposition method and may have good efficiency and life-span performance. A polymer organic light emitting diode may be manufactured using an Inkjet or spin coating method, and may have an advantage of low initial cost and being large-sized.

[0159] Both low molecular weight organic light emitting and polymer organic light emitting diodes may have an advantage of being self-light emitting, having high speed response, wide viewing angle, ultra-thin, high image quality, durability, large driving temperature range, and the like. For example, they may have good visibility due to self-light emitting characteristics, compared with a LCD (liquid crystal display), and may have an advantage of decreasing thickness and weight of LCD up to a third, because a backlight is not required.

[0160] In addition, since they may have a response speed of a microsecond unit, which is 1,000 time faster than an LCD, they may realize a perfect motion picture without after-image. Based on these advantages, they have been remarkably developed to have 80 times efficiency and more than 100 times life-span since their initial introduction. Recently, they keep being rapidly larger such as a 40-inch organic light emitting diode panel.

[0161] Simultaneously exhibiting improved luminous efficiency and life-span in order to be larger may be particularly desirable. For example, luminous efficiency may require smooth combination between holes and electrons in an emission layer. However, an organic material in general may have slower electron mobility than hole mobility. Thus, it may exhibit an inefficient combination between holes and electrons. Accordingly, it may be desirable to increase electron injection and mobility from a cathode while simultaneously preventing movement of holes.

[0162] In order to improve life-span, a material crystallization caused by Joule heating generated during device operating should be prevented. Accordingly, the embodiments provide an organic compound having excellent electron injection and mobility, and high electrochemical stability.

[0163] The embodiments provide a compound for an organic optoelectronic device that may act as light emitting, or electron injection and/or transport material, and also act as a light emitting host along with an appropriate dopant is provided.

[0164] The embodiments provide an organic optoelectronic device having excellent life-span, efficiency, driving voltage, electrochemical stability, and thermal stability.

[0165] An organic optoelectronic device having excellent electrochemical and thermal stability and life-span characteristics, and high luminous efficiency at a low driving voltage may be provided.

[0166] Example embodiments have been disclosed herein, and although specific terms are employed, they are used and are to be interpreted in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purpose of limitation. In some instances, as would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art as of the filing of the present application, features, characteristics, and/or elements described in connection with a particular embodiment may be used singly or in combination with features, characteristics, and/or elements described in connection with other embodiments unless otherwise specifically indicated.
